Figuring Out the Stuff Between the Beginning and the End

Rewatching Buffy – Episode 63

Welcome to Rewatching Buffy, the part of the blog where I rewatch Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Each Tuesday evening, you’re invited to join me as I attempt to rediscover what made me love this show 21 years ago.

The Initiative

We open on Riley. That’s odd. He must be important.

And he has a friend. Named Forrest. He’s objectifying Buffy. Riley might not be cool with that.

He admits he finds Buffy peculiar.

Oh, here comes another friend… Graham.

Cut to Spike. In a bright room. His lips are really chapped. He’s seen better days.

Whoever grabbed him at the start of the last episode stuck him in a cell. With an electrified glass wall?
